Watershed Church Monthly Newsletter | November 2025 | 4th Edition

“A Heart of Gratitude”


A Note from Pastor David

LEGACY X VISION NIGHT is upon us!  For over 18 months we have been praying, planning, preparing to roll out this $5 million purpose forward vision. You will be receiving a packet in the mail this month explaining more about LEGACY X.  Please feel free to ask questions.  Encourage your friends and family, business associates, or anyone you know to contribute!  Let us know if you need more printed materials.

We are already moving forward with the vision God has handed us.  A few things that are happening as you read this newsletter.

First, we hired Sarah Lugo as our full-time Children’s Ministry Coordinator.  She is already seeing big wins in her work and ministry.  For example, Fall Fest is yielding new families and children for God’s kingdom and Watershed.  The following Sunday after Fall Fest, a little girl begged her parent to bring her to our church.  That woman was wanting to go to the church, but she was a bit shy to go alone.  They attended and loved it!  And now they are coming back with the other children in the family.  Thank you Jesus!

Second, we are rearranging classrooms in the Children’s area.  The former Room 6 will go back to a multi-purpose room in a couple of weeks.  For now it will be holding our storage.  The storage room in the Children’s area will become an office for Sarah, our Children’s Ministry Coordinator.  An office will help her to have private meetings with parents and volunteers.  We are so limited on space that changing one space forces us to move another.  Pardon our mess over the next couple of weeks.

Additionally, Youth Ministry on Wednesday nights is ramping up!  Corey and his coordinators are seeing more students and their families each week. And those families have been attending Sunday morning services as well.

Groups have doubled in number since last Spring.  We are so pleased to see so many more people connected in relationship with one another and the church.  Next semester is going to be even more fun!

We are still a bit behind in giving for the year.  We know that it takes about 6 months for giving to catch up with new ministries.  And we have a lot of new ministries.  November and December are usually good giving months.  Could you help us meet our annual goal?  Giving toward the end of the year will bolster us toward our new vision securing our staff and ministry. The year end goal to meet is not yet set, but we are pushing toward $525,000 in tithes and offerings.

Don’t miss a Sunday in November!  It will be so good.

-Dr. David Miracle


💛 We’re Thankful for YOU

This month, we’re celebrating the heartbeat of Watershed — our volunteers. Every week, you show up early, stay late, and serve with joy. You make ministry happen, and your love for people is felt in every smile, every song, every handshake, and every small act of care.

First Impressions Team
From warm greetings at the doors to preparing coffee and helping guests find their seats, you make every Sunday feel like home. Your kindness sets the tone before anyone even hears a word preached.

Worship & Production Team
You bring passion and excellence to every song, sound, and service. From early rehearsals to running lights and slides, your creativity and heart help lead people into God’s presence.

Watershed Kids
You bring the Bible to life for the next generation! Every craft, lesson, and check-in moment makes kids feel loved and excited to learn about Jesus.

Watershed Youth
To our WY team — thank you for your faithfulness every Wednesday night. You mentor, listen, and love students through every season. Your impact will last far beyond these years.

Life Group Leaders & Hosts
Your willingness to open your homes and hearts builds real community. You create space for people to belong, share stories, and grow in faith together.

Celebrate Recovery Team
You show the power of grace every single week. By leading with honesty and compassion, you create an environment where healing happens.

Admin & Operations Volunteers
You keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes — organizing, communicating, and planning. Your diligence makes excellence possible.

We see you, we appreciate you, and we couldn’t do ministry without you. You are Watershed. 💙

Celebrating 10 Years of Watershed!

Last month we celebrate 10 years of God’s faithfulness! From the earliest days, Watershed has been about following Jesus, building relationships, and being present in our community. We honor those who have walked this journey and celebrate the new season God is launching. The past decade has been incredible, and we believe even greater things are ahead.
